I am taking Incivek. I hear info from my PA that some of her patients commented that they were soooooooo tired in the fifth week. I will soon see how that goes, since I'm almost there. But...I'm dancing in a big show tonight and doing some comedy, so thus far I'm not noticing any changes. One-third down...I can DO this!
